For such a short marinating time, this packs a punch of flavor. And a really quick cook time on the grill. Perfect for after work or after a long day spent outside relaxing! We loved the flavor. I wasn't able to get a picture....out all day and were just hungry and I forgot all about it and just dug in! Thanks for sharing your delicious recipe!

We made this recipe when my daughter was here. This was enjoyed by all. We have had similar sauces but this had the extra lime we aren't used to. Everyone loved it.
